Review – Money Shot: The F* Offs #1
From Vault Comics
A return to the universe of Money Shot with a new series from Vault Comics, I had a read of Money Shot: The F* Offs #1.
It had to happen! In the grand tradition of Secret Wars, Crisis of Absolute Proportions, and Battle of the Network Stars comes a massive cosmic crossover! A strange force has returned after millennia to gather the finest champions from across the galaxy to compete in grand games. But there’s no fighting here. No, this is THE F%CK OFFS! Some will win! Some will lose! And everyone will come! From the geniuses of debauchery, Tim Seeley, Patton Oswalt, and Garth Graham, comes the horniest arc of Money Shot yet.
Writers: Tim Seely and Patton Oswalt

I think this works as a good jumping-on point for newer readers of Money Shot. I would say that you get the idea of the story pretty quickly, and although there are references to past adventures, these don’t confuse or amend any enjoyment in reading this salacious series.
After the initial introductions, things begin moving pretty quickly with an intergalactic-type competition and many new aliens to contend with. There are some old foes too, which adds to the tension. In addition to this, there is a new character introduced, which adds to the tension as he seems to have buttoned onto the teams’ ways and made one out for himself.
Of course there is a degree of danger – sexy times with aliens are, of course, going to have their own risks, and this issue shows them off while adding an entertaining air of mystery and threat to the story.
There is some entertaining and risqué artwork here, with some clever in-jokes and designs of characters. I love the expressions and character work of all the team as well as the side looks of others.
This was an intriguing beginning to a new adventure which sets things up nicely and adds a nice cliffhanger at the end!
